Time ticks by as the story unfolds
All the smiles ignites, let the laughter explode
Half comedy half killing spree
My screws are loose but the joke's on you

'Cause Gotham is burning bright
But the show must go on tonight

So join the parade
Turn that frown upside down
While you're screaming in pain
I'll be laughing out loud
Singing
God can't save us
God can't save us
The joke's on you

Time ticks by, here's a comical twist
There's a sign in the sky but it doesn't mean shit
'Cause Gotham's greed's been good to me
The grin will win, here we go again

'Cause Gotham is burning bright
But the show must go on tonight

So join the parade
Turn that frown upside down
While you're screaming in pain
I'll be laughing out loud
Singing
God can't save us
God can't save us
The joke's on you

People of Gotham, let me be clear
In the dark of the night it's the Bat you should fear
I have only one question before we ignite
Would you dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight?

Laughter's the best medicine
Ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha

So join the parade
Turn that frown upside down
While you're screaming in pain
I'll be laughing out loud
Singing
God can't save us
(We're laughing either way)
God can't save us
(We're laughing either way)
God can't save us
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, come on!

Time ticks by as the story unfolds
All the smiles ignites, let the laughter explode
Half comedy half killing spree
My screws are loose but the joke's on you
